Solution

The correct option is D STATEMENT-1 is False, STATEMENT-2 is True
$N H C O C H_{3}$ group decreases the electron density of benzene ring whereas $- N H_{2}$ group increases the electron density of benzene ring. Hence, the activating effect of $N H C O C H_{3}$ is less than that of amino group. Hence, acetanilide is more reactive than aniline towards electrophilic substitution reactions.
